Supporters are experiencing a flashback to 1999 following the announcement that this Saturday evening will feature a live game broadcast on the BBC.
During the nineties, Italian football reigned as the premier spectacle in the sport, boasting renowned athletes such as Roberto Baggio, Paolo Maldini, and Zinedine Zidane.
Among the most anticipated matches in Serie A was the Milan derby pitting AC Milan against Inter.
Those legendary clubs showcased football icons like Maldini, Franco Baresi, Ronaldo Nazario, and Marco van Basten.
This weekend, enthusiasts can watch the Derby di Milano live on BBC Two.
The fixture starts at 7.45pm, with broadcast coverage kicking off five minutes prior.
Viewers can also stream the match via BBC iPlayer.
Social media users widely praised the decision to broadcast the derby on terrestrial television.
One user posted, "Feels like it's from 1999 and I like it."
Another commented, "Battle of Britain followed by Battle of Milan??? We're so back."
A third wrote, "What a cracker that's Saturday sorted like good old days."
A fourth joked, "Well I'd prefer another 40 Hits of 1976, but it'll do for one week."
A fifth said, "Let's gooooo."
Another added, "That's my bit of culture for this weekend done."
The San Siro fixture gives Inter the opportunity to recapture the top position in Serie A.
Lazio previously knocked them off the summit after defeating Sassuolo.
AC Milan intends to narrow the four-point gap separating them from their local rivals.
Neither AC Milan nor Inter has suffered a defeat in Serie A during the current campaign.
Manchester United supporters might recognize the AC Milan manager, given that Ruben Amorim took charge in June.
He previously received a dismissal from the Red Devils in January.
The Portuguese manager has experienced a strong beginning in Italy, securing five victories across his eight league matches.
Even so, a recent 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth in the Europa League last week served as a reality check.
